Today we’d like to introduce you to Adodo A Robinson.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Adodo. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I knew in my teenage years that I wanted to be in the beauty and fashion industry. I started my first salon in the early 2000 in Germany before relocating to the US and starting Chéz Délali Salon and Day Spa in 2012 with the goal of creating a professional, classy and welcoming environment for my clients in the south suburbs.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
My challenge at the beginning was finding the right resources and other women in business willing to share information and support each other in the industry. My advice for young women barking on this entrepreneur journey is to do their research, find a mentor, attend networking events gear toward their field and definitely utilize the small business office/organization in their community. Don’t be afraid to fail and just do it.
We’d love to hear more about Chéz Délali Salon and Day Spa.
I am a licensed cosmetologist and Makeup Artist specialize in healthy hair whether it be natural hair care,chemical services, extensions, braids etc… We have a Licensed Esthetician on our team to take care of all your skin care and waxing needs.
We offer personalized bridal and special occasions services. The salon is by appointment only, this allows us to cater to our client’s needs and get them out in a timely matter.
We have had the opportunity to work and collaborate with some of the industry best: Sandro Miller, Black Fashion Week Chicago, Dream Big Midwest, Anjel’s Boutique, Jennifer Akesy Burney, The African LIFE to name a few.
What’s the most important piece of advice you could give to a young woman just starting her career?
Never stop learning. Be willing to collaborate and support each other.
